My kids play in the woods. They have discovered hammers and nails too.....my son brings home wildlife(frogs,etc).....I want my kids to be normal like that.

LOL our parents would let us spend the night in the corn field(we would make forts by pushing the corn over to make trails to them)......bet nobody does that anymore!

I rarely ever see kids riding bikes anymore either other than mine and 1 or 2 others on our street.
Starnge days we live in for sure.

This depends where you live. In larger city suburbs, I have noticed less bike riding and kids out, but we moved to a semi rural area in Ohio(it's on the cusp of remaining rural and becomign a suburb of a larger town), kids ride their bikes on the street here all the time--ages 4 or 5(most of those with parents) on up. Our 5 yr old rides her bike up and down the sidewalk, but she's young and still on training wheels so she has to stay in the very generous area between our neighbors driveways, but for a 5 yr old, believe me, she thinks she's going a mile!

I don't even see kids on the street anymore in my town. I know they're somewhere because our schools are overcrowded.
